Dear Ute and Roy,
Thank you for your careful consideration and deliberation on my proposal. I
would be satisfied by replacing "petroleum" in my original suggestion with
either Ute's suggestion of "contaminant" or Roy's suggestion of
"total_petroleum_hydrocarbons", although I find the latter a little more
specific, particularly if one were to envision a situation in which
intentionally released dispersants were being tracked at the same time and also
categorized as "contaminants".
As to the question of mass concentration vs. mass fraction, I am trying to
represent the measurements of the SeaOWL UV-A sensor
(http://wetlabs.com/SeaOWL), which appears to be calibrated in units of ppm --
and hence mass fraction seems appropriate. The model that will assimilate
these measurements is under active development, and may likely generate a mass
concentration value. So perhaps there ought to be both mass concentration AND
mass fraction standard names.
Thank you,Mike Godin
